Abstract

Photospheric magnetic fluxes and average field strengths have been measured beneath 33 coronal holes observed on 63 occasions during 1975–1980. The principal result is that low-latitude holes contained 3 times more flux near sunspot maximum than near minimum despite the fact that their sizes were essentially the same. Average magnetic field strengths ranged from 3–36 G near sunspot maximum compared to 1–7 G near minimum. Evidently the low-latitude coronal holes received a proportion of the extra flux that was available at low latitudes near sunspot maximum.
